Days of Prof Dictatorship Gone, Report By United Press The days when professors used to stand up in front of their classes and wearily try to bring order out of chaos are gone ' at least for awhile. Instead, the prof is liable to be told by one of his students that he's wandering away from the subject ... or not teaching fast enough ... or not doing his job well enough to suit the class. This like so many of today's changing attitudes is an after math of the war. And, accord ing to the vice-president of Ohio State University, it's a good sign. Veterans are flocking to the classrooms to take advantage of the free education offered them by the GI Bill of Rights. And, says Stradley, these ex-servicemen don't intend to waste their opportunity. He attributes the changed at titude to the seriousness of vete rans many of whom missed earlier chances to go to college. He says the former servicemen want to finish their educations as quickly as possible and get to work on their postwar job ideas. Of course, Stradley says, the old-time spirit hasn't entirely disappeared from colleges. There is still plenty of fun going along with education. At Ohio State, for example, students includ ing the veterans are interested in athletics and other campus activities. "But," Stradley adds, "the days I can remember when a freshman was almost afraid to come to college because of the hazing are gone." And he believes this trend will ' continue for some time to come. He thinks the veterans are set ting the pace for the younger, non-veteran students and the good influence will be felt even after the last former fighter has received his sheepskin.
